Description

This application is a continuation-in-part of our copending application, Ser. No. 20.614, filed Mar. 18, 1970.
The present invention relates to an anchorage body for anchoring tendons with wedges, such as strands. Known anchorage bodies for anchoring tendons with wedges have a central passage for tendon, at least one section of which passage widening conically from the inlet end to the outlet end in order to form a seat for wedges.
Such anchorage bodies for tendons, known in various forms, do not fulfill all conditions as end anchorages inserted in the formwork or shuttering.
The main disadvantage of such known anchorage bodies resides in the fact that the inlet opening in the anchorage body is not adequately sealed, this leading to the wedge seats being fouled by grout, etc.
The present invention has for its objects to provide an improved anchorage body which contributes to avoid the disadvantages of the known devices.
The anchorage body according to the invention is characterized in that, it comprises a central passage for the tendon, at least one section of said passage widening conically from the inlet end to the outlet end in order to form a seat for said wedges; an axial extension integral with said inlet end, said passage for said tendon continuing through said axial extension; means on said body to which a holding and sealing sleeve can be removably secured; and a holding and sealing sleeve coaxially and removably fixed on said body, provided with a passage for the tendon and having rigid wedge retaining means extending in a direction from the outlet end to said wedge seat section of the body and terminating at a distance smaller than the length of the wedges from said seat.
It often arrives that tendons are not properly centered, so that the anchoring with wedges becomes problematic.
It is therefore a further object of the present invention to provide an anchorage obviating both of the aforementioned drawbacks.
To this end an anchorage body is provided having a central passage for the tendon, at least one section of which passage widening conically from the inlet end to the outlet end in order to form a seat for wedges and presenting a projection at the inlet end of said passage, said projection forming a part integral with the remaining anchorage body and having also a passage for the tendon, the first section of the passage in said projection tapering conically in order to form a seat for a centering- and sealing-element to be inserted between tendon and anchorage body.
The invention will be better understood, and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent, when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein generally the same reference numerals or characters have usually been employed to denote the same or or analogous elements, and wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through an end anchorage by means of an anchorage body according to the invention.
FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the inlet section of a similar anchorage.
FIG. 3 shows a section through the inlet opening of a further embodiment of an anchorage, and
FIGS. 4 to 6 show longitudinal sections through the inlet portion of similar anchorages.
When placing the tendon 1 and the end anchorages in a shuttering, the following must particularly be heeded:
a. Care must be taken that no grout can penetrate into the conical space 3a which will later receive the wedges 3, either on the front side B of the anchorage body or above all on the later inaccessible rear side A thereof.
Furthermore, the following conditions should if possible also be heeded:
b. The tendon 1 (together with sheathing 1a) should be exactly centered at the inlet point A in the anchorage body, so that when the tendon is later stressed, this centering remains true.
c. The anchorage body 2 must be fixable in the correct position, immovable with respect to the shuttering or formwork 7, so that, during concreting, the position of the anchorage body remains unaltered and said shuttering or formwork may easily be removed after the concrete has hardened.
In the embodiments shown, conditions (a) and (b) are fulfilled (FIGS. 1-5), in that the anchorage body section 2 has on its rear side A a tubular extension 2a internally provided with a conical recess 2b, which tapers in direction B. After the tendon 1, which may be enveloped in a paper sheathing, has been inserted, a tubular sealing body 4 is coupled to the tubular extension 2a. A centering of the tendon 1 takes place at 2c of the tubular extension 2a and a seal against the penetration of grout is obtained by the sealing body 4 and by the holding and sealing sleeve 6 removably fixed to body 2 after insertion of the wedges 3. The inner diameter of the constriction 2c must however be some-what larger than the outer diameter of the tendon, since it must be possible to push said tendon through this constriction without difficulty. Particularly when using strands as tendons, considerable thickenings are often formed at the ends thereof due to cutting by means of cutting torches, which thickenings must be guided through the constriction 2c. A centering of the tendon directly by means of this constriction is therefore often omitted, for practical reasons. FIG. 3 shows another possibility for centering the tendon 1.
The sealing body 4 shown in FIG. 2 may be composed of rubber, plastic material or even metal; it may be provided with a longitudinal slit at least at one place over at least a certain length. Especially when using a sealing body composed of metal, the seal at the centering point can be additionally reinforced by the interposition of a sealing ring 5 made of soft material. On the other hand, when using a sealing body 4 composed of comparatively soft material, a ring 5a consisting for example of two parts may be placed on the constriction 2c as centering means (FIG. 3), before the seal 4 is pressed in. The sealing body 4 may be of any desired length. FIG. 1 shows by way of example a sealing body coupled to the outer side of the extension 2a; the tendon here consists of a strand with a lubricating and rust-protection coating. The tendon may however also pass through a rigid conduit (e.g. metal hose) 1b (FIG. 2), the space between tendon and sheathing being grouted after stressing. The seal 4a between the conduit and the anchorage body 2, 2a may in this case be constructed as shown in FIG. 2, and it may also take over the function of a connecting piece, i.e. may be provided with another inlet opening 4b for the connection of the pipe for the grout.
The sealing body 4 may also be additionally glued to the conical inner face 2b. This inner face may have a rough surface for better adhesion.
Condition (c) is also fulfilled by the present invention. To this end, the anchorage body 2 is securely connected (for example by screwing) to a holding and sealing sleeve 6 (FIG. 1). The shuttering or formwork 7 is for its part securely connected to the holding sleeve 6 by being pressed against the shoulder 6b of the holding sleeve 6 by means of the nut 6d. It is important that the holding sleeve 6 is not only securely, but also tightly connected to the anchorage body 2. It is shown that when using a suitable plastic material, a multiple thread 6f is sufficient for the seal against grout penetrating into the wedge space 3a. In order to increase the seal, the teeth of the thread or the surface 6b and 6g may be provided with thin fins which are pressed together when the holding sleeve 6 is screwed in and thereby improve the seal.
Sleeve 6 is provided with wedge retaining means in form of an inner tubular extension 6e forming an integral part of the sleeve 6 and projection in direction of the wedges 3. In operation the wedges are first inserted and the sleeve 6 is mounted thereafter. There is a distance between the end of the extension 6e and the wedge seat, this distance being smaller than the length of the wedges.
After the concrete has hardened, the holding sleeve 6 is removed, this being simplified by the cone 6a.
FIG. 4 shows the inlet portion of an anchoring body 2 in which the sealing shell 4 surrounding the tendon 1 sits on the outer surface of the extension 2a. The sealing shell 4 may be secured on the extension by means of any suitable mechanical means or by by an adhesive. In the anchorage shown in FIG. 4 no centering element is provided for tendon 1.
FIG. 5 shows an anchorage similar to that of FIG. 4 with the only difference that the outer surface of the extension 2a of the anchorage body 2 is provided with a thread for threading thereon the sealing shell 4.
FIG. 6 finally shows part of an anchorage in which the sealing shell 4 bears against the outer surface of the extension 2a of the anchorage body, whilst a centering means, e.g. a two-part centering cone 11, is provided between the tendon 1 and the wall of the conically inwardly tapering passage 2b of the extension 2a.
